Man I'm glad I have a pension and SS that will cover all essentials even if I blow all my investments. That way, I just take 4% out and don't have to worry about all this CAPE stuff and other things I can't get my head around.
You could drive yourself mad researching all this stuff. Once you guys figure out the best plan, let me know LOL!
Yes. Good for you ... To have a pension and SS... Why even bother reading this thread...
As for the rest of us now FIREd and the coming generations who are on the path... where both a DB pension and 100% SS are both about as mythical as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, these withdraw studies are insightful and will become more and more relevant ... Especially as various taxation and retirement account and SS claiming rules change /shift / ebb and flow ...
Yes. Maddening. But hugely important for many.
